DH said, "You've been extremely pleasant the past few days...this is not pregnancy Jamie...this is normal Jamie. I feel like you're trying to get something out of me. What is it? What do you want?" WHAAAT?! I can't have good days where I feel well and have no mood swings all day without being accused of having an agenda? And "normal" me has never sucked up to get something out of him so I don't know where this is coming from.
DH has decided (on his own) that we wont be going on our getaway (babymoon i guess) because his brother is coming out in october and he wants to save money to go to the redwoods with him for a week!!! Wtf is he having a baby with his brother? What makes his brother coming out more important than us getting away from the kids for a weekend before baby comes? Im really wanting to go smother him with my pillow right now. Like i said no coffee creamer means no coffee which means evil sarah......look out world its monday!!!
I've been trying to get a hold of someone at my Drs. office for over an hour. I've been on hold, hung up on twice, and the one time someone picked up I hit the 'Facetime' button instead of the "speaker phone" option and it hung up. RRrrrggg..
A family friend has been telling me for the past month that I'm having a boy. Not that she thinks it's a boy, but that IT IS a boy. It's to the point that when she texts me and brings up the baby, she refers to it as "he". So this past weekend I got my nails done this blueish color and posted a pic on my Instagram. She comments on the picture, "Baby boy blue...just saying." And I responded, "We'll see" and she wrote another comment, "IT'S A BOY!!!!!" All caps, just like that.
It's really annoying me now! I would feel differently if she was saying "I think it's a boy" or "I have a feeling it's a boy", but I don't like that she's insisting that IT IS a boy and calling my baby "he" and stuff. Maybe I'm being silly, but I'm starting to feel very territorial because this is my experience and my baby (and DH of course), but I really don't like that she's acting like she KNOWS something about our baby that we don't.

End rant. It feels good to get that off my chest!
That is INSANELY obnoxious. If I were you I'd say something like "well, we really want a girl so regardless of whether or not baby has a penis, we will be raising her as a girl. Please stop pushing your gender agenda on my family"

Thank you for validating me because I truly didn't know if I was just being silly! LOL that response is so good. We should be finding out in 2 1/2 weeks and I'm only telling my immediate family and best friend and I'm going to tell everyone else at my baby shower. I know she's going to expect that she's one of the people that gets the scoop early and it's going to drive her nuts to wait until November. So that's making me feel better too lol.
@JandJ62914 this is my MIL! She thinks (hoping) it's a boy and refers to it as her grandson constantly. I know if it is a boy, she'll be the first to say, "I was right, I knew it was a boy all along."

That sounds like me ex MIL my son is now 7 and she still annoys the crap out of me "i knew he was a boy and i was only one ounce of his birth weight nothing beats a grandmothers intuition" ugghh
@sck601 UGH! That would drive me nuts. I really think it's one thing to say "I think it's a boy", but to insist that it is and all the baby "he" and "my grandson" is just obnoxious! We should take @emott13 's advice haha.
@sck601 I have a friend (enemy) at church who just says we are having a boy because "she wants" a boy. Ugh makes me want to strangle her. I told her to go get knocked up and leave me alone.
@JandJ62914 when I was pregnant with dd, I had a coworker touch my stomach every day and tell me it was a boy even after the anatomy scan said it was a girl! He refused to believe until she was born! Ugh... I kind of Hope you have a girl just to "prove her wrong" ha.
Ok my thing: I live in MN, in the summer everyone goes up north or to their cabin and spends time boating at a lake. My FIL retired in June and just bought a new pontoon so we went up to my in-laws cabin for the wknd. My husband enjoyed being with his family, but it was kind of a disaster... I may be a little high maintenance but basically it's things like, I'd enjoy a shower. Ok here's my list of sh*tty wknd happenings: 1) My niece is 3 and she is such a brat. My dd is 1, and my niece won't share toys with her, and everything out of her mouth is mean to my dd. I got out a bunch of my dd's toys and when my niece wanted to play with one I took it out of her hand and said, "nope that's ---- toy, if you won't share your toys she's not sharing with you." Ha, I was just so done with her. 2) my SIL is due in sept and desperately trying to potty train my niece before baby comes. In the 8hrs we saw them she took all her clothes off and pooped in the lawn and peed on the brand new pontoon. the potty was on the boat, but she didn't use it or tell anyone she had to go, she just peed all over the boat. 3) the cabin is small so we can't all sleep there, my SIL family slept there fri night and we slept there sat night. My MIL would not change the sheets for us, because her daughter and her husband "are the cleanest people she knows" WHAT that is disgusting I do not know their behind closed door habits. Plus the cabin is rustic, no shower, outhouse, etc... I turned the sheets inside out, but yuck! 4) my in-laws have no concept of my baby needs to sleep, because my niece has never napped. My SIL walked into my dd's room while she was napping to get something, of course dd woke up. My FIL insisted on watching a loud obscene movie after dd (and I) went to bed. and on and on... I'm so glad to be home!!
Sorry that's 464246973 pages long!! But boy did I need to get that out!
DH and I live in his grandmother's old house. This house is in between my in-laws and his aunt. It's a real-life "Everybody Loves Raymond" situation. Except I love my in-laws. They are super nice and never intrude. But the aunt is a different story. Long ago, DH's grandfather built a pool in his (our) backyard for all the grandkids to play in. It's always been like a family pool. Now that we live here, we still share the pool with the aunt. Or really, the aunt's great-grandchildren. They usually come over a few times a week to swim. It bothers me a little bit that they have never called to tell us they are coming or anything, but I let it go because they have always used it when I am not. But YESTERDAY the mom brought her kids out when I was with my friends for Sunday Funday. My friends were drinking, we were using "adult words" and such, and here they come with their boogie boards and floats. I guarantee his aunt told them to come on over, even though she KNOWS we use the pool EVERY SUNDAY. It's the only day DH is off work. Their mom told the girls not to splash us, but the youngest kept going out of her way to kick towards us with her boogie board and the mom said nothing. We got splashed in the face multiple times. Plus they kept asking their mom questions about us, "Who are those girls? Where are their boyfriends? Why are they getting out? Why are they sitting at that table?" It was so awkward. I have NEVER come out and interrupted their pool time. And now that I'm about to have a baby, I do not want them out there next summer when I am floating with LO since they don't seem to grasp the concept of personal space, and no splashing.
I know I'm growing a baby and that means lots of changes to my body and I'm okay with it. But yesterday I got a good look at my new boobs and broke down crying. I've always been well endowed but I had no idea what was going to happen to my nipples. Sorry if this is TMI but it's my rant for the day as I LOVED my boobs. Now they're so different. It bums me out.
Please don't take this as I hate my prego body- I don't. I'm grateful for the amazing miracle I've got going in here. Just mourning the loss of my pretty pre-prego boobies.
I had a wonderful 6 and a half hour drive home with my parents yesterday. I could've ripped my hair out multiple times. I was looking forward to a little vacation but it was too long. I love my parents but I am not like them. My mom always has stupid comments to make about everything I do. "Why are you drinking pop? You haven't had pop in years. It's bad for you." "You know, you can't keep in touch with everyone after you have kids. If you don't want your life to change, don't have kids." Like thanks, this is my second, I know what life I chose, I simply said that I missed someone I used to work with! It never ends!!
Rude A** neighbors who decide to move out at 11:30 pm when I have to work the next day! Also waiting for the Dr to call back for when I can go to the infusion center for fluids because ive been sick for 12 hours Now. Tried to go to work are it 3 hours threw up 3 times and left.

Your nipples eventually go back to normal, promise! I cried about it during my first pregnancy too.
You win, @mamaksweez ! That sounds like the crappiest "fun" weekend ever. I hate bratty kids too. Usually because their parents are assholes themselves and "don't see anything wrong" with the behavioral issues. "That's just how kids are," is the laziest f'ing excuse for not teaching your kids anything useful. I don't really have anything to b*tch about right now, but it's only noon - lotta day left.

Ugh! I feel like I have to wear two bras just to keep the turkey timers from popping out. I swear my nipples are 10000x bigger than pre-pregnancy. But yeah, after I finished BFing with DD they went back to normal.... But since I plan to bf LO until at least 1yr I'm stuck with the cannons for a while.

I'm definitely not looking forward to the national geographical nipples again. When I was BFing DD and pumping, they got pretty long. Luckily they bounced back after I weaned.
Woke up to a phone call this morning canceling an appointment I made a week ago to maternal fetal medicine. They said they won't have a dr for me... Wtf, then why did you schedule me in the first place? Could have been an honest mistake but they woke me up from a good sleep so I'm still bitter.
Also my manager STILL hasn't put out the work schedule yet. So I only know my schedule for today and tomorrow. Not Wednesday or anything past that. That's too much short notice and need to get it together. Seriously, a day and a half in advance? And that's assuming she gets its posted sometime this afternoon.

LOL never heard of them referred to like that before. Love it. Pumping always made them feel about a mile long. Hoping to avoid pumping as much as possible this time. Haha
Our puppy kept me awake most of the night because my hungover husband let her sleep the ENTIRE day yesterday. I was traveling back from a work trip, otherwise I would've kept her awake during the evening. Between the dog keeping me up and my husband's snoring peacefully while he slept through her barking and whining I wanted to kill someone last night. I'm going to pull the prego card and go home for a nap mid-day.

lol, yes, I often referred to them as my nat geo nips or teats.
I had to do the one hour glucose test today (16 weeks) because I was glucose intolerant last time. I'm glad they are being proactive, but they said even if I pass I still have to do it again at the normal interval. I don't mind the 1 hour or 3 hour test, honestly I think the drink tastes good. I just don't want to be on a restricted diet over the holidays again!!! Try making pies and cookies you can't eat, it blows! Last time I froze some for after I gave birth, I felt a little weird eating Christmas cookies in February but whatever. Please please please body, cooperate this time!
I'm getting so frustrated with DH. He hasn't booked the flights to take SD back next week. Tickets have already gone up $50ea since last week, and now he's thinking about driving. (They would meet half way, but it'll still be a 9 hr roundtrip drive for everyone) If he drives, she would go back this weekend, instead of next Tuesday. (it would mean a few less days to spend with her an we planned to do a lot for her last weekend in town) He thinks that if they drive, he can take her back the weekend of the 15/16, which isn't true, because her mom said she would like her back the week of the 10th so she can spend some time with her and go school shopping. I know he doesn't want to take her back, (we all don't want her to leave) but it's getting irritating.
